Light in the Darkroom

Hopefully you dad's out there are kicked back and relaxed!

My weekend is not as full as the past two weeks (horray!!!) have been so I'm feeling stress free! Today is my early day so I am off at 11a and then it's to the grocery store. I am making 2 cakes for a friend of mine. She is trying to talk me into the baking business, but I really have to think about that some more. I don't mind baking, but being under a time constraint and actually having to bake more the occasional cake here and there is a big undertaking. I'm trying to decide before the holidays come around if that really something I want to do. Saturday I'm visiting my friend I haven't seen in at least a year, that will be fun and exciting we have soooo much to catch up on. I also am thinking about finishing my museum tour of the American History museum, but that depends on the timing of my morning. Sunday is Father's Day! I haven't planned a thing for my daddy. I know shame on me, but he was supposed to be having surgery and so technically I didn't have to do anything too extravagant, however is was postponed and so now I need to come up with something. I feel like I'm a bad daughter...I keep making plans for Sunday and forgetting that it's Father's Day. Hmmm what to do?!? I also need to get my dirty and I mean DIRTY car washed and finish filling out some paperwork. I can't believe half the year is gone already...I feel like I haven't accomplished much...I suppose it's time to kick it into gear!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Yesterday morning was one of those morning's that I wish I had stayed in the bed. Unfortunately hitting the snooze button for 30 minutes did not deter my determination for joining the work world, I got on up and got ready for my venture into work. Boy do I wish I stayed home, one of these days I'm actually going to listen to myself, lol. Anyhow, I get to work insanely early, 5:30a, and it's usually just me tinkering around for about 15 minutes alone. I walked into the side door looking at the floor and I noticed that the carpet was wet...soaked actually, in front of the copy machine...I'm thinking since the piece of junk hasn't worked in a couple of weeks anyway and that something else happened to it. Ha was I wrong...I looked up and there was this stream of water flowing from the ceiling onto the machine. The first thing I thought, this is not happening...and I continued to my desk. The whole I told you so, you should have still been sleep started playing in my head. If you don't know how hard it is to find help before 6a let me tell you...VERY DIFFICULT! Needless to say my headache began shortly after and continued to grow as the day went on. Apparently the nitwits who renovated the building did not seal the sprinkler pipes with the correct materials, hence any of them at any time could spring a leak. With that knowledge...tomorrow I will be taking most of my personal things on my desk home with me! I would hate to come in and see a river at my desk and everything on it ruined. Needless to say the copy machine should be finished, low and behold the stupid thing still comes on. It's bittersweet though...we got it less than a year ago, but it never functioned correctly anyway so about 50% of our hopes of a new machine may still be possible.

Anyhow last night we took a friend out to dinner for their birthday in Annapolis. I haven't been to Annapolis in at least 10 years or more, sad I know, but I actually forgot about the things out there. It looks really nice around there now and although it seems like it took for ever to get down rte 50, but the highlight....the new Whole Foods Market. I think that is the best one I have been in yet. Definitely will be going back, but I have to take Chef Squirt so she can start cooking for us. I need to see if she really learned something in Rhode Island last year!

Well back to work...Happy Thursday!

Although the, ahh hmm, Lakers (yuck)won the NBA Championship, I'll allow Kobe to grace my blog this one time because the commercial is funny...

Oh this story tugged at my heart a tad. The little youngster had great intentions, but he just didn't know how to quite go about them.

Happy Monday! I am pleased that rain is not in the forecast until later in the week and the weather will be in the 70's for most of it. I was a tardy blogger last week...tsk tsk. I am back on track this week and I'll be writing away as usual, well just as the last month went! This weekend was pretty laid back. Family Fun day was rescheduled due to the saturated lawn, which is great because I don't like outdoor activities all that greatly, but I am hoping the new date does not bring crazy temperatures and humidity (insert yucky face!)

I have plenty of things to catch up on...I should correct that, plenty of things to complete since I took the weekend off.

So.....

Until Tomorrow!!

One of the few times that I am actually too exhausted to be really excited for Friday. I am happy it's here but considering the wealth of emotions I have experienced this week...I'm ready for sleep, but of course with the weekend comes more and more things to do. I was privy to lots of information this week most of it sad and depressing. I'm hoping for more "sunny days" for the weeks that follow, but it just seems as though everything is in limbo at the moment. I'm sure all of this sounds like I'm speaking in circles, but this is how all of the thoughts are roaming through my head.

I'm definitely taking a nap ASAP after work...

Happy Friday!
